More About April:
April started out in the same English court group as a householder, and then continued to play various maids of honor until her departure in 2003, at the time that Ste. Marie's was founded. She is one of the original 10 founding members of Ste. Marie's and has continued to enrich the faire circuit with her gentle attitude toward life. April doesn't let anything bother her. She is the the epitome of the Madonna/Whore sydrome in that she can go into a chamilion-state, playing the sexually rambuctious Queen Margot to the ever astute Queen Elizabeth. A devoted mother and wife, she also worked as a restaurant manager for a major family chain, and enjoys sewing and corsetry. She has nearly finished a degree in Criminal Justice, with the intent of going into the CSI field.
